3d acc, arch guest, virtual box, anyone?

I used to have a windows 7 host with an pre v5 virtualbox which had moderately fine working 3d acceleration.
Since win10 and vbox 5 I can’t get it to work again to the point that I simply think it’s impossible.
Does it work for anyone. (I’m not even sure the host is that important)

I am having the same issue. I have virtualbox 5.0.20, but the only way I can get 3d acceleration working is installing guest utils for 5.0.16. If I update guest utils to 5.0.18 or 5.0.20 it stops working

Cool, thx.
I tried several versions, downgrading xorg and building the guest utils myself without any luck, can’t believe i missed that.
It probably has to do with the fact that i can only get it to work if i log in though lxdm.
GDM is known for issues with virtualbox, but not even raw startx works for me.
glxgears in gnome is still pretty buggy, works ok in other DEs though.

What environment are you using it in? Does it work well?
